 * Not any shortcode works on my site, however I put in shortcodes on my pages it
   wont work, I’ve tried completely free and with the tags  on each side in HTML..
   How can I make this work, or is it a bug? – This is for every plugin that got
   shortcodes to use…! 🙁

 * Where is your site, show us a page that it isn’t working on and what plugin you’re
   using

 * My site requires login to enter, so:
 * First login: [http://sorholmen.no/wp-login.php/](http://sorholmen.no/wp-login.php/)
   
   Login information: Username: guest Password: guestpass
 * Then go to: [http://sorholmen.no/kontakt/](http://sorholmen.no/kontakt/)
    – This
   is one example, this plugin is FS Contact Form.
 * Another example: [http://sorholmen.no/bilder/](http://sorholmen.no/bilder/)
    –
   This is another example, here the plugin is Facebook Photo Page.
 * [@gitominoti](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gitominoti/), do you know whats
   the problem?
    -The shortcodes was working until today.

 * I’ve had this happen a few times. When shortcodes fail, it is either because 
   the plugin that drives them has become deactivated/failed or because the text
   representing the shortcode was turned into HTML.
 * Go to the Post/Page editor and look at the Kontakt page, click on the HTML tab
   to edit in HTML view and look at the page content. Do you see it marked up with
   HTML tags around it? Or is it put in a line with other text?
 * You say it was working until recently, has anything been introduced in that time?
   A plugin that does code validation for example?

 * As usual, it is best to disable all plugins and revert to the stock twentyten
   or twentyeleven theme if you are troubleshooting. If you want to go that route,
   there is a build-in shortcode you can use to test:

 * Okay, I’ve now checked if there shortcode was text representing with tags around
   it, but no it isnt. I’ve actually not tried any other plugins recently, so I 
   dont think that would be the problem… – The only thing I did before it failed
   was that I activated the plugin FS Contact Form after an update, may caused the
   fail? – But Ill try: `As usual, it is best to disable all plugins and revert
